Suck it Wyoming!

I thought I replied but I don't see it... Hope this isn't a double.

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik is a fantastic series that very much scratches this itch. In my opinion it's a better series in every way, but I like hard magic systems and think soft magic systems must be earned and I don't think Homophobic Potter earns it.

I feel you there. I like buttons, screens, and colors. And this scratches that itch!

Put all the shit i have to do on my calendar back to back to back and start the moment I get it if need to create a false sense of "oh shit" and it works for me.

Getting it out bed isn't always the easiest so I rub one out, well I gotta get up to clean that mess, that a shower, and get in it.

There is a company called Flying a Miata's out here that I used to laugh at. Who modifies Miata's? Until a few handed me my lunch without effort. Now I want one.

Sadly CO regulations have made it so I can't buy one from them. They sold that part of the business out east and I don't even think the cars pass CO emissions anymore.

I used a reference if that's what you mean? I'm trying to pick references that are fun and a stretch for me.

As for McLaren it's not a dig at them. Just commentary on the struggles most teams are having with the new regs. This was the first race this year where every team had at least one car finish the race. And the first race where McLaren finished at all, washing out due to technical issues the last two races, among many other teams having issues.

Hands Up (thelemmy.club)

Painted this while watching the F1 Japan GP. Started it on lap 5 and finished it just moments before the podium. Fun race overall. Nice to see what McLaren can do when they finish a race.

LMFAO! Perfect, no notes.

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I'm looking forward to good fighting for the first half of the race!

Body clapping (lemmy.world)

I just realized I can make a clapping sound by slapping my arm fat against my torso fat. That is all.

Thank you for both.

One hat, two renders (thelemmy.club)

I painted the blue background one first and was happy with it until I looked at it later. I repainted it and I like the orange background one better.

Fun fact I was laid off today due to AI after I painted it so the clown theme is fitting.

Fuck AI.

Plein Air Barn (thelemmy.club)

My mom and I went plein air painting today. We love barns. She walks her dog near this I've occasionally so we decided to paint it.

Flower Dress (thelemmy.club)

My wife said this painting made her happy to look at. Which gave me tippy taps! It was a lot of fun as well.

Red Dress (thelemmy.club)

I don't think I got the bottom part / train of the dress quite right. It's supposed to be huge frilly volumfull things.

Hazel Eyes (thelemmy.club)

Tried to push the proportions on the reference and play with the painting style a bit. Thoughts?

Longs Peak (thelemmy.club)

Reference is a photo my Mom took. This is her favorite mountain here in Colorado. She's taken so many pictures of it. She loves my painting of it.

Cozy (thelemmy.club)

Tried another, working hard to make it look like real watercolor. I pushed the colors a bit further than the reference but not as far as the last two.

What about this tells you it's probably not a watercolor?

Gaze (thelemmy.club)

After doing the last false color I had to do another. This is a ton of fun! It's closer to the kind of art I tend to buy!
